Santos Club turns off the lights at the “Villa Belmero” stadium to mourn the death of Pele, who spent most of his career as a player in the Brazilian team.

  • Pele started his football career at Santos in 1956

The lights of the Santos club stadium, “Villa Belmero”, in which Pele played the longest period of his career, were turned off on Thursday evening, mourning the loss of the club. The death of the Brazilian legend.

A few hours following announcing the news of Pele’s death at the age of 82 due to complications from colon cancer from which he was suffering, the stadium lights were turned off.

And darkness prevailed in “Villa Belmero” except for the screen, in the middle of which appeared a crown and the full name “Pele”, Edison Arantes Nascimento, on one side, and the shield of Santos club on the other side.

Pele began his sports career in Santos in 1956, played 1116 matches for the club, scored 1091 goals, and left Santos in 1974 to join the American New York Cosmos, who retired from his ranks following 3 years.
